1 TEXAS CHAPTER ANTIQUE AIRPLANE ASSOCIATION NEWSLETTER FEBRUARY 2018 Presidents Corner What a way to kick off 2018! My first official meeting as your president went well and I am thankful for all who attended, our host, speaker, and of course those who helped pull the meeting together. What a team we have. A huge thank you to our kind and longtime friend Chuckie Hospers. Chuckie is the Director of the Vintage Flying Museum, and she ensures we are comfortable and taken care of each time we return. Our Chapter loves the venue, and of course the great aircraft. With the primary mission of the Vintage Flying Museum preserving America s flying heritage, this local institution continues to be a perfect fit for us. Please consider visiting the museum throughout the year. It s a great place to spend a day or take an out-of-town visitor! In the center of everything was our speaker, Mr. Fiske Hanley II. This ninety-eight-year-old, WW II veteran, author, survivor, and historian spoke to us about being a flight engineer on a B-29. He told us about being shot down, facing certain death, and being lucky to be alive. While this was not Mr. Hanley s first time speaking to our Chapter, this was the first time I got to meet him and hear him tell a piece of his amazing story. Fiske was kind, funny, sharp, and friendly. What a gem. I noticed Fiske asking people for their contact information and stating he likes to stay in touch. When you have a minute, Fiske Hanley at hanley1@charter.net to exchange information, mention our meeting, and say thanks. I m certain he would love to hear from you. The final count on attendees at our January meeting was nearly 55 people! I am certain we had good food as well as friends to visit with. And I know for sure I heard a tall tale! During my opening statement, I mentioned the health of our Chapter being in good shape. Fifty-five airplane lovers and friends is what I m talking about. We must keep this going. Our February meeting will be at the Nebrig and Associates hangar at the Denton airport (DTO). I am looking forward to hearing our next speaker, a real-world bush pilot, Mr. David Speyers tell us about how flying in Peru is different than flying in the USA. Carrying unexpected cargo, saving lives, and more Don t miss hearing David, and please bring a friend along. Let s hope for great weather and lots of airplanes to fly in! Our potluck lunch is at noon, but come early to visit! Thanks to all and see you soon! Keep the antiques flying! Joel Page 1

4 AIR MAIL PIONEERS Celabrate 40th Anniversary TRANSCONTINENTAL AIR MAIL SERVICE By Clarence K. Stewart Secretary - Treasurer Central Division The national organization of Air Mail Pioneers, Inc., formerly known as the Air Mail Pioneers Last Man Club celebrated the 40th Anniversary of flying the mail coast to coast, the goal achieved September 8, Air Mail Pioneers is an organization of, by and for the former employees of the United States Post Office Department Air Mail Service between August 12, 1918 and August 21, The organization consists of the National, and three divisions: Eastern, Central and Western with Chap-ters in each. Five Hundred Seventy-Five members are accounted for, now scattered in all parts of the country. Many are known to be deceased and whereabouts of many are unknown. National Officers are: W. S. Scottie Tefft, Presi-dent, Miami, Florida; Edward A. Keogh, Vice-Pres-ident, Riverside, Illinois; Elmer McCorkel, Secretary Aurora, Colorado; George I. Meyers, Treasurer, Denver, Colorado. The DeHavilland (D. H. 4B) mail plane of 1926 with running lights and landing lights, extended exhaust pipes and heavier landing gear with larger wheels and tires. The longerons were strengthened by the ad-dition of metal fittings. Plywood covering was used on the fuselage instead of the fabric covering used on the military version of the plane. The Liberty engine was completely rebuilt and exten-sively modified by the substitution of better bearings, piston rings, timing gear, and other parts not stand-ard in the original plane. There were so many different versions of the Air Mail D. H. 4 that it is not possible to list the speci-fications of weight, speed, ceiling, etc., since these values would change with the individual plane. With the lighting of the route July 1st, 1924, from Chicago to Cheyenne, with flashing and rotating beacons, and flood lights at air fields, the flying time was reduced to thirty-three hours, from New York to San Francisco.

Bryan McMullen Pilot Oct. 16, 1920 DH-76 Stalled, crashed and caught fire while making forced landing in fog. John P. Woodward Pilot Nov. 6, 1920 DH-178 Ran into hillside in fog and snow storm. There are men still living among us who deserve to be honored for their deeds. Some of them are the pi-lots of the U. S. Air Mail Service. These men navigated without instruments through weather in which the birds were walking. They flew without benefit of charts worthy of the name, without air route markers or radio aids. They dared to pioneer a field upon which a modern nation has been built, and we owe them a tremendous debt. In 1943, the Roll Call, publication of the Air Mail Pioneers, listed 555 members in the country. Many of these pilots are now deceased or perhaps were not made known at the time. Their Club continues to make a determined effort to locate as many of these selfless men as possible. Perhaps some of our readers know of the whereabouts, or stories, of these men, whose organization can survive onry a few more years... Editor Page 5
